Baltic leads the team in rebounding, 3pt%, 2nd in assist, Blocks, Steals, And 3rd in points and some of you want him to walk the plank????? The bigger question Is where would team be without him?
In 35 minutes he was:
1st play of the game, off the tip, did not react to help and allowed uncontested lay-up.
1-8 fgm-fga
0-2 3ptm-3pta
0-2 ftm-fta (and of the total brick variety)
2 pts (that's a big 2 in 35 minutes)
9 assts (sounds good - but what would happen taking it to the hole more - or being more often the one getting "assisted" - in the paint?)
10 rb - about half were of the uncontested variety (off missed ft, nobody w/in 6 feet, etc.)
2 orb
8 drb
UMASS had one player 5 orb, another 4 orb (where was the position, blocking out)
1 stl
5 to (tied DJ for team lead)
Right now I don't see how more Keely and Green can be any worse - almost certainly would be better Combined they were in 27 minutes played (8 less than Baltic):
7-10 fgm
14 pts
7 rb
1 orb
6 drb
2 stl
4 to
Stat that is not kept - "points allowed by being out of position, not helping, getting burned on roll into the paint" - way too much of that tonight.
As well - Rico certainly better on defense.
